RE: REVISED GUIDELINES ON COVID 19 AT POINTS OF ENTRY IN ZAMBIA

Kindly be informed that the Ministry of Health has revised the guidelines on COVID-19 at points of entry in Zambia. The revisions entail that fully-vaccinated travellers arriving in Zambia will not be required to present a negative PCR test result.

 
The new guidelines came into effect on Monday 28th March 2022.

Meanwhile does Uganda remains firmly rooted in the Covid19 regulation stone age, stubbornly refusing to do what most of Africa’s leading tourism destinations have already implemented, i.e. accepting to drop the need for arrival / departure PCR tests for fully vaccinated travelers.

Sections of the tourism sector are finally also beginning to take issue with that while, sadly as usual, others remain silent on matters of industry survival.
